'Earnest' to Debut In
Campus Performances
Friday Chapel Ends
Successful Week
Bringing an awareness of
Christ's presence to the campus,
the BSU Focus Week has been
successful in reacquainting some
students with their Lord.
Thursday evening's service
will feature Rev. Don Gurney
stressing that day's theme "To
know the meaning of His power."
Presiding will be Jim Murcray;
music leader, Jim Griffitts; pianist, Betty Ann Thran; and soloist, Judi Roberts.
Dormitory discussions at 9:00
p.m. will end the day. Early the
next morning at 6:30, a student-
led worship will open the day.
Friday will close Focus Week
at the 10:00 Chapel. Dr. Bill
Sherman will bring the message
on "To know the meaning of
His blessing." Al Gebauer, Tom
deGraaf, Gerard Faber.andShel-
ley Williams will also be participating in the program.
BSU director, Joe Cutsinger,
who has been working on this
Focus Week since 1969, hopes
that the week has brought students into a more meaningful
relationship with Jesus Christ.
"The Importance of Being
Earnest," a hilarious three act
comedy produced by the California Baptist College Drama Department, will be performed next
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
nights, February 18-20. Advance
tickets for this delightful entertainment experience will cost
only 50c for students and $1.00
for adults."
"Earnest," under the direction of Ray Hindman, is the story
of two confused young men who
learn the importance of being
themselves. Richard Reed, well
known veteran ofthe CBC stage,
will appear as Algernon Mon-
crieff, with the talented Jerry
Levingston co-starring as Jack
Worthing. Other cast members
are Bob Tucker, Dan Garrison,
Jack Eane, Joy Harkinson, Sharon
Green, Debbie Belahovek, Karen
Culley, and Wineate Grant.
It was feared for a while that
the last minute scheduling of a
nationally known singing group
in direct conflict with the "Earnest" performances would hurt
"Love is patient; love is kind
and envies no one. Love is never
boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take
offense. Love keeps no score of
wrongs; does not gloat over other
men's sins, but delights in the
truth. There is nothing love cannot face; there is no limit to its
faith, its hope, and its endurance." I Corinthians 13:4-7
attendance. Ray Hindman, however, has no doubts that the play
will be a success. 'This will be
an excellent production," said
Hindman, "and we look forward
to a good turnout, even if it's
from off campus only."
Members ofthe college family
are urged to give their wholehearted support to those students
who are working so hard to make
this play a success. The efforts
of the Drama Department should
be rewarded with a packed College Chapel Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday night at 7:30.
Book Of Life Manuscript
Written On Lamb Skin
by Don Williams
What do a Flemish Book of
Hours and a drum have in common? The page of the Flemish
Book of Hours on display for the
Book of Life is made of animal
skin and so is part of a drum.
Parchment made of wolf skin is
preferred for drum heads.
Parchment and vellum are used
instead of paper for a material
to write on.
The Flemish Book of Hours
displayed is from the 15th century. It is written on very fine
vellum. 1 his. uterine vellum was
the thinnest and whitest available
to a 15th century monk. It was
obtained by causing an abortion
of the lamb about six weeks before birth and then the vellum
was made from that very thin,
fine, tender skin of the unborn
lamb.
A twelfth century manuscript
also shown this month was made
from almost a full skin of a grown
lamb. This parchment was made
of sheepskin placed in lime to eat
the hair off; then they scraped the
remaining hair off and usually
took a stone to rub it smooth.
The outside is yellowish and the
flesh side is white. Both sides
are used to write on.
A 14th century page was written
on hand woven paper. The paper
was made from rags and then put
into a sieve to dry. Marks from
the sieve remain. It is called
laid paper because of the still
visible marks showing where it
was laid on the sieve.
